Name: The Bonnie Maid Of Fife (Nick Keir The McCalmans - cover) by Shaun Maybury Rogers
Duration: 2 min 51 s
Description: This is a terrific song written by the late Nick Keir and offten perfomed by the McCalmans. I picked it up in the true folk way from a Scottish muscian I met in 1983. We had no album or cassette - he just knew the song. After a couple of jams I never saw him again but the song has stayed with me since that time.

@ashofficialxx: Thank you so much for the lovely comment and for listening Ash. Big smiles from Brisbane Australia.

Great song, sounds like an old folk song from Scotland. Is this original?

very lovely song, Shaun...and really sweetly put over too! :)

Jazz-Funk cover by the 70's era soul band "The Five Stairsteps" Dedicated to my great nephew "Atticus" who just happened to be born as I was finishing the mastering. Welcome little dude! :)

Down At The Twist & Shout

After hearing Midnight Blues, John was inspired to write another blues song in the same tempo and theme, but different perspective, and asked me if Jim and I would be interested in doing another collab, sending me these wonderful inspiring lyrics. Although I wrote it straight away, the words so beautifully spoke to me, it has been a while on the go.....sorry John! Along the way other minstrels joined me, and I was delighted to have their superb work on this song,
THANKYOU so much guys! Love what you have created!

 Big Happy Birthday to Gary!! ( save me some cake!)

Lyrics
The rain was falling down
And how the streets shine
It's so dark at night
I'm still wishing....
You were mine

The riverboat horns
Sure do make a sound
It's the music I lean on
Whenever you're not around

Chorus
I've got the September blues
I'm living in the past
And nowhere to go but to you
Things are fading fast

I see all these people
Going somewhere new
But I'm walking these streets
Wishing I'm with you

I need to go home now
But sleep just won't come
The night's still calling me
It's only just begun

Chorus
I've got the September Blues
I'm living in the past
And nowhere to go but to you
Things are fading fast
Yeh I got these blues
And you're fading fast

September Blues  (John Eagle, telefan, gordon m, Gary Reeves)

Not one of his best known songs, but one of my favourites - from the album 'Not 'til Tomorrow.' Didn't even need to worry too much about arranging this one either, as the original is mostly solo guitar and voice as it is.
